There is a E6 haltech on ebay atm 3days left bids are at $150. if it was mine i would go nistune if mods are minimal ie under 250-280rwkw. If your planning on making 250rwkw and up go something like the LINK G4 or Vipec (same thing) as it plugs in and is light years ahead of a microtech. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
